>I try to do some rally photography as well so compact digitals are woeful for that

LOL! Funnily enough, the reason I first got an SLR as a spotty teenager was to take pics of motor racing. Not had much chance to try the digiSLR for this...yet!!!

I love digi pretty wholeheartedly, esp since getting the digiSLR mainly coz it's like a 'blank cheque' to fund experimental shots or to bang away 'til you get it right - particularly useful for stuff like gigs and motor racing! (Being able to instantly review's handy as well of course.)

In fact, I wasn't really enough into the nicities of photography or wanting to print at large sizes to miss film at all. (Other than missing actually having 'photos' coz I rarely get round to printing owt....)

love
